Yes - I know that much, but that is not what I need. By an API I mean:

  • a list of objects
  • a list of functions / methods that we can call on these objects with their precise list of arguments and semantics
    The documentation gives a lot of generality, what what I need is specifics, at least on the basic functionalities:
  • how do I get access to boards?
  • how do I read / write data in a board?
  • how do I send an email? A notification?
  • can I format a array of data into a nice looking table in an email or a notification?
  • where the usual JS console?
  • how can I test a piece of code?
    Basically what I can an API: what function can I call, which arguments should I pass, what behavior should I expect?

Hello there @julesromains,

You can find all of that information in our documentation :smile:

Objects, queries and mutations here and here

How to access, read and write data on a board here

How to send an email: That can not be done directly via API

How to send a notification here

Notifications can not be formatted.

I am not sure what you mean when you refere to a “usual JS console”. You can use your API Playground by:

  1. Clicking on your profile picture or initials
  2. Clicking on “Developers”
  3. Clicking on “Developer”
  4. Clicking on “API Playground”

You can use the API Playground to test your queries and mutations

You can see Postman examples on many of the possible queries and mutations here

Let me know if you have any other questions :smile:

Cheers,
Matias

Here is the full API reference that is linked to from the API docs that I linked to. Exploring the documentation in full will be very helpful. Its GraphQL not REST, so it is different if you’re expecting REST.
